In Wuliang City, Zhang Ruming returned satisfied with his mission. He was entangled with Mo Kun Yang Fakui for two days, and in the end, he didn't let Mo Kun get a bargain. Mo Kun's intention was for Duan Lang to take Huining City, and directly copy Prince Hong's back road, and attack each other on both sides with the Nanping army. But Zhang Ruming is not stupid, he will not agree to Mo Kun's suggestion. In this way, the soldiers and horses of Lidu City are equivalent to making wedding dresses for the Nanping army, and it will make the people of the world believe in the fact that they have formed an alliance.

Zhang Ruming insisted that as long as you and I don't do anything, as for how the army of Lidu City fights, it has nothing to do with you. You don't have the right to command me, and I don't have the right to command you. As long as you don't come to harass my Wuliang City, I will continue to make your grain and grass back. Otherwise, everyone will fall apart. For a person like Zhang Ruming, who does not enter oil and salt, the roots of Mo Kun and Yang Fakui's hatred are itching, and in the end, there is really no choice, so they have to reach a temporary oral alliance on the battlefield. But both sides know that this tacit understanding will not last long, and once Prince Hong's army is defeated, the next step is a fight between them.

Changlin Canyon, Duan Lang, Zhang Ruming and others were the last people to enter the canyon. In front of the loyal soul bone stele at the entrance, everyone dismounted and saluted. Thinking of the chase in the canyon, Zhang Ruming couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It was precisely because these brothers sacrificed their lives that they were able to survive. Now that I have crossed the Changlin Canyon again, the scene of the past seems to have happened in front of me.

In the secluded canyon, the army marched silently. A few days later, Duan Lang and the others came to Fulin County, where Geng Zhishan was stationed. At this time, in Fulin County, the army was assembled, and several temporary military camps rose from the ground, separated by more than ten miles.

As soon as Duan Lang and the others arrived, Tangtai Mingyue immediately convened all the generals to lead the meeting in the middle of the meeting. Duan Lang's gaze swept over the faces of all the generals, recalling that back then, he and Zhang Ruming only went to Lidu City with five hundred black-armored guards. A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Xusheng and Cui Zhiliang have become his right-hand men. The three brothers of the Zhou family are famous for their outstanding military exploits, and Zhang Qifeng, Wang Fuzhong, and Huang Zhi have also become famous generals in Great Xia. Although Lu Zhengshan and Geng Zhishan were the generals who later joined Lidu City, they were born in the palace guards and had very strong personal combat effectiveness. Coupled with the veteran Wei Du Feng Ming, the twelve generals of the capital city are powerful in the world, and no one dares to try it.

Duan Lang hugged his fists, "Generals, the battle of Huining City is very important, and all battalions must be cautious. It can be said that after this battle, it is really about the life and death of Great Xia. Originally, I didn't want to do this, after all, we were once subjects of Great Xia. However, they took the initiative to attack and kill our brothers. If you don't come and be rude, then let Feng Zhun know the strength of our army in the capital city. ”

"Duan Shuai, there are less than 100,000 troops, and we can hand it over to our battalion. Last time, they were raided, and Hu Tianzhuang's bastard made the Zhou Hu brothers suffer. As long as you give the order, the last general will definitely hang Feng Zhun's head on the flagpole. Wang Fuzhong said in a rough voice.

"Don't be careless, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun are two military squires. Moreover, the men and horses they brought were all elites of Great Xia, and this battle must be resolved quickly. In the past, we fought more with less, but this time we were also generous and used our superior forces to defeat Feng Ming's army in one fell swoop. Duan Lang said.

Geng Zhishan said, "Duan Shuai, since the immolation of Huining City, the court hall has not been repaired. Although the city became a place for people to gather for trade on their own, the walls were so dilapidated that they had no defensive capabilities at all. The last general felt that it was enough to directly put on a strong attack. ”

Tantai Mingyue said, "The specific plan will be decided when Azhu comes back." Don't look at the broken walls of Huining City, but it can still stop the attack of our chariots. Moreover, the use of the wall to set up an arrow array defense can prevent the cavalry from attacking the gap in the wall. Lidu City cannot afford to lose, and Huining City must be taken at the lowest cost. ”

Li Jianshan also said, "What the Mingyue military division said is right, we are short of soldiers, and we really can't afford to lose." At present, the court has been recruiting new troops, and there are also reserve soldiers and horses left in Nanping. And there are only so many troops in Lidu City, and there are too many losses, and there is no way to replenish the source of troops. That's why I remind you not to blindly fight bravely, but to protect your strength. ”

Li Jianshan's words made Zhou Hu bow his head in shame. They all knew that there was a shortage of soldiers in the capital city, and it was not easy to train a strong and effective soldier. Unexpectedly, in Guxin County, he lost more than 30,000 yuan at once, and it is no wonder that Duan Lang was angry and wanted to behead him.

Everyone was discussing how to take Huining City in Fulin County, and in Huining City, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun were also talking about the layout of the soldiers and horses and where to go next. Both of them once served as the squire of the military department, especially Feng Zhun, although he was not as good as Yu Ban for the open and secret battles of the court, but he was indeed a good hand in marching and fighting.

Two dishes of vegetarian dishes, a pot of old wine, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun drank on the city wall. The dim bonfire shone on Feng Zhun's old face, and he said with emotion.

"Master Zhu, you and I are both high-ranking officials and important ministers who have served as first-class officials. I didn't think that the old man felt refreshed when he was delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he didn't expect that today's two dishes of vegetarian dishes lacking salt and ingredients are endlessly memorable. ”

Zhu Wenjun sighed, "That's not bad, the country is unstable, maybe it won't be long before we can't even eat vegetarian food." Those in power cannot escape the blame for this situation. ”

Feng Zhun raised his gaze, "What, Lord Zhu has a grudge against His Majesty?" ”

Zhu Wenjun sighed, "Three years in prison, what do you say?" However, grievances are grievances, and I still have to be loyal to Daxia in the future. ”

Feng Zhun smiled bitterly, "Back then, you and I were both courtiers who assisted Prince Dezhang, but I didn't expect to fail at a critical juncture. This is the will of God, and no one can blame it. Since De Zheng reused us, the food monarch is worried about the king, which is also the duty of a minister. ”

"In that case, I have to thank this war rebellion. If not, I'm afraid that I will only end up in old death prison. Zhu Wenjun said with resentment.

Feng Zhun's heart moved, he looked at the guards guarding not far from the left and right, and said in a low voice, "Lord Zhu, how do you think this war~ will develop?" You and I are not outsiders, so we can speak bluntly. ”

Zhu Wenjun was slightly stunned, hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice, "Western Vietnam is advancing into my Great Xia at the same time, and Duan Lang is making trouble from it, this war brother feels ~ difficult." ”

"What, do you think Prince Hong can't stop the pace of Nanping's march, or Ma Ruzheng can't hold the defense line of Lidu City?"

"After all, Prince Hong is old and calm, but he lacks the courage to fight against the odds. In this way, he will miss out on a lot of opportunities. As for Ma Ruzheng, his soldiers and horses had been nailed to death in Lidu City by Lu Mu of Xiyue, and he couldn't come to support at all. Once Prince Hiro's side is defeated on all fronts, he can only defend Kyoto with all his might. This war may force Delong to cede his land and surrender. Zhu Wenjun did not hide his point of view, and said straight to the point.

Feng Zhun looked at Zhu Wenjun very calmly, "Prince Hong recruited us old ministers under his command, which is enough to show that Prince Hong also predicted such serious consequences. However, the old man felt that it might be more serious than Brother Zhu expected. ”

Zhu Wenjun was stunned, "What, Brother Feng thinks that Great Xia will ~ perish?" ”

Feng Zhun nodded, "Don't forget, there are also soldiers and horses from Lidu City. Once Duan Lang reached a secret deal with Nanping, Prince Hong's new army was powerless to resist. Nanping and Xiyue have made such a big move, do you think they will be satisfied if they cede the land? Even if these two are satisfied, what about Duan Lang? Will he agree. ”

"Brother Feng, do you think Duan Lang dares to defy the world's condemnation and collude with foreign criminals?"

"Brother Zhu, what is the disapproval of the world? You have to have the world to do this. If Great Xia dies, the sky will change, and the world will not be disapproved. In fact, this time we sent troops, we shouldn't provoke the soldiers and horses of the capital city at all. Prince Hong thought he was a clever move, but in fact he set himself on fire. ”

Zhu Wenjun was stunned, "Then why didn't you stop it, but instead killed the soldiers and horses in Lidu City?" ”

Feng Zhun said hideously, "Because I hate them, if it weren't for Duan Lang's turnaround in the royal schoolyard, our children and grandchildren would be able to enjoy this kind of glory and wealth in future generations." It's like now, those sour rot in the Hanlin Academy actually dare to show Lao Tzu's face. Therefore, I not only want to kill, but also let Duan Lang hurt into the bone marrow. ”

Zhu Wenjun looked at Feng Zhun and suddenly smiled bitterly, "Actually, I could have prevented you from going to Guxin County." But you and I think the same, three years in prison, I will make Duan Lang pay the price. Even if I see a problem, I don't want to stop anything. ”

Feng Zhun laughed miserably, "Prince Hong is confused, as a royal prince, his hatred for Duan Lang in his heart is definitely higher than that of you and me. This invasion of foreign invaders, the shock of the Great Xia River, Prince Hong is all blamed on Duan Lang. Therefore, hatred blinded his eyes, and Great Xia ~ danger. ”

"Brother Feng, that's it, where will you go in the future? Could it be that you really want to follow Prince Hong and die for that fool of Delong? ”

Feng Zhun's eyes flashed, "Brother Zhu, this is exactly what I want to talk to you about." These days, we have released scouts to arrange troops to collect information, but at present, this tranquility makes the old man feel palpitations. I always felt that there was a danger looming towards us. ”

Zhu Wenjun frowned, "You and I both know Duan Lang, and that guy will never give up." He's either going to attack Blue Lake City, or he's coming to Huining City to attack us. Brother Feng, where do you think he will go? ”

"Prince Hong believes that Duan Lang is based in Wuliang City and will not come to Huining City from near and far. And in doing so, once Nanping took advantage of the situation to enter and take Wuliang City, Duan Lang's army became rootless duckweed again. But the old man felt that Duan Lang had never played cards according to common sense, and it was very likely that he would come to Huining City. ”

"What if it did? Fight hard, or return to Prince Hong's camp? ”

"No, Brother Wei thinks that if Duan Lang really comes to attack our Huining City, this is a great opportunity for us from God."

Zhu Wenjun was stunned, "What does Brother Feng mean?" Please be explicit. ”

Feng Zhun cautiously looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhu, Great Xia is about to die, and this elite in our hands can be said to be the capital to save your life." Once Duan Lang leads the army to attack, let's evacuate Huining City immediately. However, it must not be close to Prince Hong. Let's go north along the eastern line and evacuate to Jingshan City. When the time comes, cut off all contact with Prince Hong, so that he doesn't know where our soldiers and horses are going. When the battle between Nanping and the imperial army is clear, we are making a decision. Once the court army wins, it will be killed from the eastern front and cut off the back road of the Nanping army. In the event that Prince Hiroshi is defeated and Kyoto is destroyed, several capitals along the East China Sea must be controlled by us. ”

Zhu Wenjun looked at Feng Zhun in surprise, "Then~ What if the Nanping army and the court are in a stalemate in Kyoto?" Or what if we join in, we can change the whole situation? ”

"That is better, it is much better to save Delong from fire and water than to follow Prince Hong and be defeated. When the time comes, in order to survive, Delong will definitely make a promise. ”

"But leading the soldiers and horses without permission is also a big crime of killing the head."

"Brother Zhu, don't worry, once Huining City is lost, the old man believes that the Nanping army will also take action. When the time comes, Prince Hong will evacuate to Yixiang City. We can't find the movement of the army under the pretext that the general can move randomly when he is outside. Moreover, once you occupy Jingshan City, immediately kill the Hanhaizhai personnel in the city and cut off all message transmission channels. Even if the court asks after the fact, no one can do anything to us. What's more, maybe we're going to end up being the king there. ”

Zhu Wenjun's eyes lit up, and then he asked worriedly, "If Duan Lang's men and horses are killed all the way, what should I do?" No, let's fight them out. ”

Feng Zhun shook his head, "No, the area around Xuanhua City of Wuliang City has become the foundation of Duan Lang, he wants to chase us to move eastward, the battle line is too long, and he can't guarantee the safety of the rear." Although Duan Lang hates you and me, he will never dare to take the future of the soldiers and horses of Lidu City as a child's play. ”

Zhu Wenjun looked at Feng Zhun and tilted his neck to dry a bowl of wine, "Okay, since Brother Feng is thoughtful, my brother will follow you." Among the soldiers around me, there are more than 20 people who have absolute trust in them, and they can immediately rush to the direction of Kyoto and Blue Lake City, and keep in touch with us at any time. ”

Feng Zhun smiled slightly, "Brother, your people, just stay by our side." Before the army set out for Huining City, I had already sent all my descendants out. Don't worry, brother, they don't know our movements, but we can still know the direction of the situation in the world. ”

Zhu Wenjun looked at Feng Zhun with some shock, no wonder this guy was able to be reused by Yu Ban. This is not only the trust between each other, but also the fact that Feng is superior in strategy. In the past, when Yu Ning was banned, he couldn't show his excellence, but now that the masters have left, Feng Zhun's talent has also been revealed.

A day later, inside the temporary camp in Fulin County. Ah Zhu returned with several scouts and reported in detail on the investigation of Huining City. Due to the heavy security of Huining City, only Ah Zhu can sneak into it by night.

Looking at the deployment of the army drawn by Azhu, Duan Lang said, "Yue'er, with this kind of layout, there is only one way to quickly take Huining City. ”

Tantai Mingyue looked at the layout plan, and her heart moved, "Lang, you mean~ A small number of people sneaked in, opened the city gate and let the soldiers and horses enter the city?" ”

"Yes, our soldiers and horses are good at killing immediately, although the walls of Huining City are seriously damaged, they also need climbing equipment. Why don't you do a night attack. ”

Yutai Mingyue thought for a while, nodded and said, "I think it's feasible, who are you going to send to infiltrate?" ”

"I personally led the team, eighteen personal guards, Zhou Long and Zhou Hu, plus 200 elite people in the forward battalion." Duan Lang said.

Yutai Mingyue was stunned for a moment, "Then~ What if you are besieged by the army?" You are the core of everyone, in case of an accident, this can be ~! ”

"Don't be afraid, let Wang Fuzhong and others lead the army, and the horseshoe wrap will move forward cautiously, waiting three arrows away from the city gate. As soon as you get the signal, immediately enter the city. At such a distance, even if there are more people on the other side, we can hold out until the army enters the city. ”

Looking at Duan Lang's serious appearance, Lantai Mingyue knew that she couldn't stop it, "Okay, then bring the two generals, Lu Zhengshan and Geng Zhishan, with you." The two of them have good kung fu and can be worthy of great responsibilities. ”

Duan Lang finished discussing with Tai Mingyue, and immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter. Knowing that Duan Lang personally led the team, the generals did not object. Because everyone believes that with so many people following, they can definitely protect Duan Lang's safety. What's more, Duan Lang himself is a god. The guards of the city, they haven't paid attention to it yet.

The plan was certain, and the army marched towards Huining City early the next morning. According to the speed of travel, they rushed to Huining City, and it would also be the second half of the night. For a night raid, it's the perfect time to get your hands dirty.

This time, Duan Lang was ruthless and wanted to take down Feng Zhun. For the ministers in the Great Xia court, he had never hated a person so much. This kind of behavior of revenge on the back, Duan Lang must make Feng Zhun pay the price of blood.

However, Duan Lang didn't expect that after Ah Zhu's investigation, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun actually temporarily changed the layout of the army. This night attack was completely unexpected by Duan Lang.
